Dev - More than one ticket in the POS.

Jacques Le Roux

Hi,
 
I hope that Andy or perhaps Ray may answer to this.
 
Before diving in the code, I wonder if it would be easy (or even possible) to have more than one cart session from the POS.
 
The idea is to stock and recall a ticket.
 
Happy new year to all
 
Jacques

Jacques,

The idea that has been mentioned before I think is to
use the save cart feature already in the frame work.
There was initially a Load/Save button on the POS UI
but it was not fully implemented in the POS at that
point and the buttons have been commented out I think.

Here's some thoughts of what I think needs doing:
A UI built for it so that you can hit Save and it will
possibly prompt for a name, although as lots of
terminals operate without a keyboard handy it should
prefill with the date and time.
Close the dialog and the cart is saved under that
users login and the session cleared ready for a new
transaction.
Click Load and a dialog showing saved carts should
appear allowing the user to select and load one.
At the point of completing a loaded POS transaction
the saved cart should be removed from the list.
The load dialog might also benefit from a delete
button to clear redunant carts.

Depending on the environment some might also use auto
save on log out so one terminal can be used by
multiple staff i.e. a bar

Not obvious, TRANS_SAVE & TRANS_RET perhaps. But at first glance, I can't see no
code associated with theses options. I have to dive in ;o)

My prospective customer wants also a virtual keyboard. But yes date+time+
(perhaps) login+incremental_number by default. Login because perhaps some kind
og sharing will be asked for later...

Yes

Yes would be good

Yes a good point too

So I will take a look at the code ASAP and will tell you more about it
